I want to make conversation with this girl that sits in front of me in class (no one ever talks in class) and I just noticed she has a tattoo at the base of her neck. Would it be creepy if after class I just ask her about it as means of initiating conversation?

Zero experience with women in case you hadn't noticed...

I would just say something like, "Hey that's a cool tattoo, where did you get it done?" When you ask a question they are forced to respond with more than one word answer. If you have a tattoo or tattoos now you have something to talk about.

sounds like a good ice-breaker to me .

Good idea: "I noticed your tattoo, I really like the style/color/whatever, where did you get it done?" Casual, just like talking to any other person. Remember to do this on a day it's visible.

Bad idea: "I noticed your tattoo, wanna show me the rest of it??"

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. We'll know how it goes in 26 minutes.

I'd say it depends on what class you're in.. But i'd say it'd be better to just talk to her about whatever, ask her about something you've learned (or was supposed to learn) in class, if she seems smart you can ask her if she'd mind helping you with some of the stuff ;)

Only if she's wearing her hair up. The last thing you want to do is approach her when her hair is down. Play it off like you've just casually noticed it.

Well I noticed it again today in plain sight so it's visible.

Her hair is down today but I casually noticed it when she was brushing aside her hair while she was writing.

I don't mean to sound arrogant but I'm usually the "seems smart" guy in class. I just feel weird approaching someone I've never spoken to and chatting her up about helping me in class. I dunno, maybe you're right.

That's good. You just don't want to be like the guy I've never met coming up to me at work to talk to me about my mma gym... That happened and I was extremely weirded out since he neglected to introduce himself or mention how he knew about my out of office activities.

dont even bring it up right off the bat. That is going to be every other man's first question. Do you know anything else about the girl?

Just breath heavily down her neck, it starts a conversation every time.

Zip, zilch, nada. I just can't for the life of me think of any other legit way of striking up a conversation.

Heh.. I was that guy myself.. And I was hopeless with girls/women. But does SHE know you're the smart guy in class?

I would say something respectful, since it can be a touchy topic for some people. Sometimes we get a tattoo to represent something deeply important to us. Like myself. So something along the lines of "Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what do you have tattoed on your neck?" .. let her answer, "What does it mean?" Idk, something along those lines. If you don't have a tat yourself asking where she got it done would be weird. Unless you're planning on getting one.

yeah, don't wanna come across as weird.

what class is it? Math which means nothing, or something talkable like philosophy?

Kinja'd!!!

If not "just play some Al Green and spank her on the ass a little bit". Or ask her if you can buy her a fish sandwich

Well I don't have any myself so it might be weird even though the design is kind of interesting but it might be personal.

That's a complicated situation. It depends on how well she knows you. If you speak from time to time, like before class on a consistent basis feel free to bring it up sometime, if not I still say hold off and start casual, tattoos can possibly be incredibly personal and you don't want to come on too strong.

People assume I am and they wouldn't be far from the truth, I'm just not the only one.

I met my wife in pretty much the same way, except it was a band shirt instead of a tattoo, and she sat behind me. 8 years later, we still look back fondly on that day.

Go for it. You have nothing to lose here.

Ask if she likes hockey. Get some 40s. Watch hockey and drink 40s. Best first date I've ever been on.

....Actually scratch that, I think the girl-girl dating scene is a bit different from boy-girl.

Go buy temporary tattoos, put in pocket.

Tell her that you noticed she had a tattoo, and ask her if it hurt, and you were thinking about getting one. Tell her hers is really cute, and mention that she she picked a cool one. Play it serious, but not over anxious.

Since she has good taste, pull temporary tattoos out of pocket, and ask her to pick one for you.

Apply it your face right before the next class you have together.

Hope she doesn't miss class.

T minus 5 minutes until I find out how this goes.

Gonna go for it.

Lekker > Nighthawkwill7, Hoon Depot Manager
04/10/2014 at 14:18

Well there you go. Might want to use something else to approach her, and use the tat for conversation, but not as a starter. Although you want to let her talk as much as possible to learn from her.

Glad to hear it, my friend. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
